Today we read an article, "Is the Holocaust Unique?", which discusses other genocides that have happened in the world in the past and recent past (Rwanda). We discussed the big question, IS the Holocaust Unique?

We had our chapter 1 test today, quick and easy. Then we started chapter 2, all about "The Great War". I showed a small introduction/overview of the war with a Youtube video created with Lego. Very interesting! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLZWVG2BVIc
